In the event that you aren’t on the Cubs’ email list, below is the message the marketing department Tom Ricketts sent to fans Tuesday afternoon. I’ll let you read and come to your own conclusions, but I do want to call attention to the highlighted section. As easy as it is to be skeptical of just about anything ownership says, everyone in the organization has been singing the same tune for a while now and they don’t have much leeway when it comes to continued mediocrity.
It’s very clear that the Cubs won’t sell out just because they play at Wrigley Field, so I think they’ll be more aggressive this winter out of necessity if nothing else.
